IDE Hard Drives
4 messages in this thread
As a result of a series of Amiga4000 upgrades (for customers) over the past
few years I've ended up with a dozen IDE hard drives sitting on the shelf. If
anyone is interested 120MB ide drives are available for $90 each, 210MB IDE
drives for $180 each.

No offense, but that's awfully high priced for such small drives. Nowdays IDE
drives are going for around 25 cents a Meg.

In The current issue (page 24) of Amazing Amiga, Software Hut is asking $139
for the same drive that I am offering for $90. You pay less per Megabyte when
you buy larger drives but 25 cents a meg??.
Thanks for your help.

NIck,
First of all, I haven't seen any (new) IDE drives for sale smaller than 540M in
over a year.
Over at my local Best Buy store (not the cheapest around, Circuit City and
Incredible Universe beat them on price, but they're a couple of miles from my
house) they've got 540Ms for under $200 (in the $170-$190 range) and 1G+
starting at $229 — for a 1G drive that's pretty close to 25 cents a meg.
Seagate recently had a sale on their SCSI 4G harddrives for $999 … I've got
one of those in my machine at work.
